Description
Longside starts near the Corn Mill Shoals parking area on !Cascade Lake Road off of Corn Mill Shoals trail. It travels north where it connects with Twixt and ends at the intersection with Pine Tree. If hiking from south to north, it is mostly a mellow climb with a short downhill segment after a rocky and rooted double switchback. The trail is best enjoyed from north to south where the final half is a downhill with a few water bars and rock step-downs.
